    Yeah, but they could take him off the overarching helm of the whole cinematic thing and instead just have him work specific projects. In my perfect world he would be in charge of a Justice League movie and could mold the whole thing in his style off the late 80's/90's era JL and I bet it would...

    Seriously? F all that. I can put a better filter inline before the fridge anyways. About to redo the under sink filter anyways.... AND..... one google search later : https://www.groovypost.com/howto/hack-rwpfe-water-filters-ge-fridge/ Only drawback is that you can then use generic filters...

    Household Major Appliances

    A surprising number of the side by side options I'm seeing now are opting for a lower capacity ice maker, but it's built into the door so it doesn't "take up" a shelf in the freezer... Which is kinda nice. I don't know if I can put it off a month. But we'll see. Some local places are having...

    I love that guys videos and have literally already been watching that one since yesterday afternoon. Went to the Best Buy Outlet near my house today to do some look and see, found a few which line up to his lists. Originally I was thinking we'd go from split sides to French Door, but watching...

    So yeah... Apparently I am fated to become the fridge person around here. Today I notice that my usual morning beverage in the morning (Coke Zero over ice) wasn't producing as much foam/fizz as usual. I check the ice dispenser and the ice is coming out slightly wet. Apparently during the...

    Could be irrational exuberance, could be the world realizing Trump isn't going to pull the trigger on 155% tariffs on China because of.. .well... Advanced TACO theory. Stranger thing I'm trying to find the explanation for is how stocks are banging up against all time highs and gold is still...

    I think they need to treat the "multiverse" the way comics have always treated other comics in the past (and when I say past I mean pre-Crisis in the comics. It's other stuff going on. And then very rarely you'd have a cameo "team up" between two characters. Somewhere around Crisis on...

    I still find this talk about this e-girl entertaining, as the only thing I watch Twitch for is a twice weekly nighttime "just chatting" stream from three guys, all over 50 I believe. And the closest to "gaming content" they ever get is that they wrap each show with a Marbles On Stream game.

    Any time you're having sex, you're paying for it. The only question is how explicitly you're paying for it.

    Metalworking Thread (aka Haus indulging his inner mountain dwarf)

    Overindulgent Hobby Update! I tweaked a couple things. Added a retired handheld massager (previously used for calf cramping, but the massage head kinda broke) to the side of the Vac chamber. Now that vibrates things as they're being vacuumed which seemed to cause a LOT of of frothy bubbles...

    Idle Earl, home-made

    OK. Now on current rebirth... I have thought about it, the "end game" here is diamond accumulation. But it is put behind the same exponential curve of "credits cost you more the more credits/diamonds you have" which means it has a soft cap which end up feeling pretty hard. Essentially when I...

    No worries, I let autocorrect and speech to text do a lot of lifting and that shit happen. I consider my typing and posting to be a "performance art". ;)

    I did that a few times, then just started the "put things in the cart barcode up" and the one scanning stop went a lot faster. That system breaks down though if you have a lot of things in the cart to the point you have to stack stuff up. But also I got the Sam's plus thing and get free...

    The thing at Sam's is good, but not perfect yet. It scans your basket, then correlates that to either a recent register or recent scan and go purchase for accuracy. It will still ping you for a check from a person if it sees things in your cart it can't identify, or aren't on your receipt...

    This also ties into the fact that recently Walmart announced that they planned on meeting their growth goals for the next 5 years without a net increase in employee count due to leveraging AI, automation, etc....
